A Pediatrician’s Guide to Immune Support: Dr. Elisa Song
Episode Summary
Many of you have asked how to support your family’s immune system. This week we interview Dr. Elisa Song on what she specifically has doing as a holistic pediatrician and mama, for my very own family. Instead of asking what the risk factors are for getting seriously ill or even dying, let’s change the question and ask instead: What can we do NOW to make our immune systems so resilient that we become the 80% or more of the population that does well?
